Hmm, the BUG_ON() appears in the original code, i don't introduce it.
it maybe be better to consider va->va_start == tmp_va->va_end as normal case
and should not BUG_ON() it since the available range of vmap_erea include
the start boundary but the end, BTW, represented as [start, end)

this patch correct the logic to that mentioned in the comments, it maybe be
more logical and more understandable
